OpenSTDroid distribution

1. What is the STM32MPU distribution for Android?[edit source]

The STM32MPU distribution for Android™, running on the Arm^® Cortex^®-A processor(s), is a sub-part of the STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution for Android.

It includes the following collection of software components:

OpenSTLinux BSP
- The boot chain based on TF-A and U-Boot
- The OP-TEE secure OS running on the Cortex-A in secure mode
- The Linux® kernel running on the Arm® Cortex®-A in non-secure mode
The Application frameworks that rely on the services provided by the OpenSTLinux BSP, to provide particular functionalities (code libraries, APIs, tool sets...) to facilitate the development of software applications:
- The OP-TEE application frameworks running on the user space of the secure OS: e.g. TEE Internal core API for the development of Trusted Applications (TA)
- Android application frameworks running on the user space of the Linux OS

The OpenSTLinux BSP for Android has some specificities:

the Linux kernel source is based on the Common Kernel available in AOSP^[1]
the Linux kenel configuration is based on the referenced configuration available in AOSP^[2]

The Android application frameworks is based on the AOSP platform manifest^[3]. By default, one of the following tags^[4] is used as a reference.

The Google services (ex: Cast, Drive, Maps...) are neither embedded nor validated within this STM32MPU distribution for Android.

The STM32MPU distribution for Android™ is available through the three Packages (Starter, Developer, and Distribution) of the STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution for Android.
